[quote=Renny]My real choice here was Traest Krey’lis, he has that militant knowledge that we all need. But you I figured the Jedi senior officer needed to be a Jedi.

The Jedi in charge is just in charge of the jedi, and probably not as firmly in charge of other Jedi knights as Traest is of the entire IRSOG. You see, he's in command, the Jedi are under him (for the moment) and it's not a welcome relationship from his perspective...and the Jedi aren't entirely happy with the situation either, as Jedi have this other whole frequency they sense and integrate into their decisionmaking.
